Here's a description of the image:

Overall:

The image shows a Roman coin, likely a bronze sestertius or dupondius. The coin is photographed against a black background and a ruler is placed alongside it for scale. It is a close up image that shows the details of the coin.

Obverse (Front):

• Portrait: The coin features a bust of a Roman emperor, facing right. The image is weathered, so the details are softened, but it's clear there's a head and some facial features visible. The emperor's portrait is surrounded by a circular inscription.
• Inscription: The inscription reads in a curved manner around the portrait with a combination of letters.

Reverse (Back):

• Image: The reverse depicts a structure, likely a temple or architectural feature. The structure has a central facade with a door with two panels with columns on the side.
• Inscription: The legend includes the letters "S C," which stands for "Senatus Consulto" (By decree of the Senate). The word "PROVIDENT" appears below the architecture.

Condition:

The coin appears to be in a well-worn condition, as is typical for ancient coins. There is some corrosion or wear and a green tone that's common on bronze coins over time.
